funny how you say tire rack sucks when you use their vehicle vibration diagnosis chart on post #15...

what part of them suck? the prices? the help? the knowledge? that they don't carry Toyo or some wheel manufacturers? not trying to bust your chops, but you probably have a reason to say they suck. just curious.

of all the tire places I know, tirerack has the best knowledge of proper fitments, plus sizing, etc.. compared to any independent shop. they also do their own testing with a full test track facility. if you find someone with a wholesale account, you can get tires, wheels, components, etc... cheaper.

as for installers, although tirerack gives a list of shop recommendations, like an independent shop listed on BMWCCA's website, I would do my own research and check out the shop. Just because they are listed doesn't mean they won't hack up your rims.
